Illegal Immigrants Powerpoint

Illegal Immigrants

Who benefits from illegal immigration?

United States government

US Employers

It also benefits Mexico

Why the United States borders are barely enforced?

Ten million illegal immigrants - may be as high as 20 million people.

About 75% of undocumented immigrants arrive across the US southern border with Mexico.

The bulk...about 50% of all illegal's....are Mexican-born people.

A third of all illegal immigrants in the US live in California.

Why US Employers routinely hire Illegal Immigrants, with little penalty?

Employee provides acceptable ID that appears authentic,

The employer asks no questions,

And the US government looks the other way.

Why would employers hire undocumented workers?

Cheaper labor costs

Will work for lower wages

Lesser working conditions

Minimal or no benefits

Higher business profits

Why would the US government look the other way?

"ethnic advocacy" -- means buying favor...and "votes"

"business interests" -- means profits

thousands of businesses have higher profits

then the US business community is stronger

And that means more votes

How much do undocumented workers give annually to the Social Security?

Undocumented Workers Give $7 Billion Annually to Social Security

since illegal immigrant workers are here illegally and apparently presented fake ID to the US employer, they will never collect Social Security benefits

Retirement does not enter the picture

Wouldn't the federal government detect fake Social Security numbers?

In the late 1980s, the social Security Administration received a flood of W-2 earnings reports with incorrect Social Security numbers.

1990 - $189 billion worth of wages ended up recorded in the suspense file.
